The Choral Scholars of University College Dublin - Perpetual Twilight on CD

Description

The Choral Scholars of University College Dublin and Artistic Director Desmond Earley follow up their debut release with a programme of new choral music inspired by the evocative imagery of the natural world in traditional Irish and Scottish folksong and poetry. The disc includes a number of world-premiere recordings of new works and arrangements commissioned by the choir. The choirs first release Invisible Stars was praised by critics and reviewers: The choirs singing is crystal clear The Lady Blending folk voices with choral precision and tight harmony isnt easy, but Desmond Earley has a passionate stake in both and doesnt put a foot wrong Choir and Organ The Choral Scholars of University College Dublin, under the artistic direction of Desmond Earley, is Irelands leading collegiate choral ensemble. With a large repertoire ranging from art to popular music, and stretching from the medieval to the contemporary in style, this choir gives many concerts throughout the academic year, both in Ireland and abroad.
